High-Efficiency Thermal Reflection Barrier
The core structure consists of a 2mm IXPE foam substrate laminated with a specialized aluminum foil layer, forming a highly efficient thermal reflection barrier.
The aluminum foil acts like a mirror, reflecting the vast majority of thermal energy back and significantly blocking one-way heat transfer and dissipation.
Unlike ordinary aluminized films, the high-density aluminum foil features more complete metallic continuity — reflective performance remains durable and stable even after long-term use or slight bending.
Applicable heat sources include underfloor heating pipes, automobile engines, and rooftop solar radiation, making it highly versatile across industries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is the IXPE 3020-FH and what flooring types is it compatible with?
The IXPE 3020-FH is a 2mm cross-linked polyethylene foam underlayment laminated with an aluminum foil layer. It is designed for use with a wide range of flooring types, including laminate, hardwood, and bamboo flooring, providing thermal insulation, sound reduction, and moisture resistance.
Q
How does the aluminum foil layer improve thermal insulation performance?
The aluminum foil layer functions as a thermal reflection barrier by reflecting radiant heat back toward its source. This physical reflection principle significantly reduces heat transfer and dissipation, making the product highly effective for applications such as underfloor heating, automotive insulation, and rooftop applications.
Q
What are the IIC and STC ratings of this product, and why do they matter?
The IXPE 3020-FH achieves an IIC (Impact Insulation Class) rating of 61dB and an STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 64dB. These ratings indicate excellent sound insulation performance — reducing both impact noise (such as footsteps) and airborne sound transmission, making it ideal for residential and commercial flooring installations.
Q
Does the aluminum foil layer degrade or lose performance over time?
No. Unlike ordinary aluminized films, the high-density aluminum foil used in this product features superior metallic continuity. Even after extended use or minor bending, its reflective performance remains stable and durable without noticeable degradation, ensuring long-term thermal efficiency.
Q
What packaging options and load quantities are available for bulk orders?
The product is available in Nude, Pallet, or Carton packaging to suit different shipping and storage needs. For bulk orders, a 20GP container can accommodate approximately 12,000 sqm (129,000 sq.ft), while a 40HC container can hold up to 27,000 sqm (290,000 sq.ft).
Q
What is the water absorption rate of the IXPE 3020-FH, and is it suitable for moisture-prone areas?
The IXPE 3020-FH has an extremely low water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, making it highly resistant to moisture. This property makes it well-suited for installation in areas prone to humidity or moisture, such as basements, kitchens, and bathrooms, where protecting the flooring from moisture damage is essential.
